So I picked up the racing beat oil cooler and condenser screens this week and just tried to install them. Removed my bumper and the oil cooler screens went in no problem.

But on the condenser screen the fitment just doesn't seem to be right! My car is an 06. The mounting brackets went on easy, look just like the picture on the instructions. But when I try to line up the holes on the bracket with the holes on the screen, fitment seems to be off by about 1/4" vertically. (the holes on the screen are too far down to line up with the holes on the brackets)

I did a search and it looks like toxin440 had a similar problem:

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there supposed to be a different set of brackets for the 06? Tomorrow morning i'm going to try bending the top brackets, which seems to have worked for toxin

BTW- The factory partial condenser screen definitely does not cut it! It protects the lower part of the condenser but I have plenty of places where rocks have been impacting the upper screen!

 

Mine just go right on, and its 05

You sure you got it right tho ?

try to take a picture of your *problem* location

 

Install completed! I was able to bend the lower brackets up some and bolt everything down. Looks good. Also got the front air dam put back together with some machine screws from home depot. Ride is awesome again

 

Where did you pick your up from? Straight from Racing Beat? Is 97.50 the cheapest price for all screens? & what is shipping? Thanks.

I found them for 96.00 at good-win racing but then another 21.00 for shipping...

 

I think I paid a total of around $110 to get them from Racing Beat.
